General Information
The OPEN SYSTEMS Accounting Software (OSAS ) product line consists of
several accounting applications. Each application addresses a different phase of
your financial operations; together, they form a powerful accounting solution to
your daily and periodic accounting needs.
The ODBC Kit
The OSAS ODBC Kit provides users with a way to access their OSAS data through
any ODBC-compliant productivity package. The ODBC Kit includes an ODBC
driver for Windows, the data dictionaries for the OSAS data files, utilities for
maintaining the data dictionaries and some sample reports in Microsoft Excel,
Microsoft Access and Crystal Reports for Windows.
The Report Applets
Since the release of the ODBC Kit, OSAS users have been discovering the power
of these popular productivity packages to analyze their accounting data. The
Report Applets provide a series of pre-built Microsoft Excel PivotTables to help
you get the most from your accounting data.
These tables are provided for each of the major data files in each application. This
manual includes instructions for loading and using these spreadsheets to sort and
analyze your data. With a little practice, you can easily create similar PivotTables
or modify the ones provided to customize them to your exact needs.

Fixed Assets Data Files
You use the Fixed Assets system (FA) to record the assets that you purchase and to
calculate and track the depreciation of those assets. When you calculate
depreciation on your assets, you can post the amounts automatically to the General
Ledger application.
FA Data Files
The Fixed Assets Report Applet contains several spreadsheets that report
information from the OSAS Fixed Assets data files. The PivotTables in the Fixed
Assets Report Applet are based on these data files:
FAMAxxx
The Fixed Assets Master file stores information about your assets. After you add
an asset to the master file and place it in service, the system stores calculated
depreciation amounts in the file, and calculates future depreciation based on the
prior calculations. Other information stored in the file includes insurance and
assessed valuations, asset location and tax information. Data from the Fixed Assets
Master file is used in the FA Asset Books (FABOOKS.XLS) and FA Asset Master
(FAMASTER.XLS) PivotTables.
FARJxxx
The Retirements Journal file stores information about assets that are no longer in
service. Assets are stored in this file to maintain a record of the depreciation taken
on the asset as well as the reason for the asset’s retirement. This data is displayed
on the FA Retired Asset Books (FARETBOK.XLS) and FA Retired Asset Master
(FARETMST.XLS) PivotTables.

Introduction to PivotTables
A Microsoft Excel PivotTable is an interactive table that quickly summarizes, or
cross-tabulates, large amounts of data. You can rotate its rows and columns to see
different summaries of the source data, filter the data by displaying different pages,
or display the details for areas of interest.
A PivotTable contains fields, each of which summarizes multiple rows of
information from the source data. By dragging a field button to another part of the
PivotTable, you can view your data in different ways. For example, you can view
any field either down the rows or across the columns.
The PivotTable summarizes data by using a summary function, such as Sum,
Count, or Average. You can include subtotals and grand totals automatically, or use
your own formulas by adding calculated fields and items.
In the Fixed Assets Report Applet, several PivotTables are provided based on the
data in the OSAS data files. The PivotTable is updated through the ODBC driver.
The next section includes a tutorial for setting up and modifying PivotTables in
Excel.

Moving Fields and Sorting Data
You can dramatically change the appearance of the table by moving the fields
around. Fields appear on the PivotTable as gray blocks with the field name on
them. To move any field, simply drag it to a new destination.
You can change your PivotTable by moving fields in these ways:
Changing the Selection Fields
If you want to be able to limit the data in the table, you can make any field in the
table part of the selection criteria by moving it to the Page area.
For example, to select a specific batch for this table rather than displaying all the
batches across the table columns as they are in our sample table, follow these steps:
1. Position the mouse cursor over the BATCH_ID field, press and hold the left
mouse button.
As you drag the BATCH_ID field around the table, the cursor changes to
show where you can drop it. If the cursor looks like a block with an X over it,
you will remove the field from the table by dropping it there.
2. Drag the BATCH_ID field to the left of the TRANSACTION_TYPE field and
drop it there.

fields or data block to the column heading area.
For example, to show the quantity, price, cost and profit information in our table
across the columns instead of in the data block as they now appear, drag the Data
field above the Total column heading and drop it there.

Changing the Data Sort
To change the order in which the data is displayed, you can simply change the Row
fields around.
For example, our PivotTable is sorted by Invoice Number. To sort it by Invoice
Date instead, click and drag the INVOICE_DATE field to the left of the
INVOICE_NUMBER field.
The data is sorted by Invoice Date and is redisplayed:
You can also drag the selection fields from the Page area to the Row area to sort the

FA Report Applet User’s Manual
You can put the Fixed Assets ODBC Report Applet on your system by installing it
through Resource Manager. The installation process is described in this section.
The Fixed Assets Report Applet needs a minimum of 120 kilobytes (120KB) for
installation. You must also have installed Fixed Assets and the ODBC Kit on your
system, and the ODBC drivers on the Windows workstation.
Installing the Report Applet
Use the Install Application function on the Resource Manager Installation menu to
install the report applet. You must install the Fixed Assets application before you
install this report applet.
The installation will treat the report applet as though you are reinstalling Fixed
Assets. This is normal behavior.
When you install the report applet, Resource Manager copies the PivotTables to the
directory where your Fixed Assets programs are stored. You must have access to
this directory from your Windows machine to access the tables in Microsoft Excel.
The CONFIG.TPM File
When you install the ODBC Kit, you specify the location of the data files and data
dictionaries in a file called CONFIG.TPM. You can build this file using the ODBC
Kit functions. You can store this file in any directory, but the report applets expect
the file to be located in the C:\WINDOWS directory.
If your CONFIG.TPM file is stored in a different directory, you have three choices
for using the PivotTables supplied with the report applet:
FA Report Applet User’s Manual
2-1
Installation
1. Move the CONFIG.TPM file to the C:\WINDOWS directory and change any
Data Sources you have set up and any ODBC reports or spreadsheets you
have already set up to use the CONFIG.TPM in its new location.
2. Copy the CONFIG.TPM file to the C:\WINDOWS directory and leave a copy
in its current location. You do not need to change any Data Sources or reports
you have set up, but you need to make any changes in both files.
3. Change the PivotTables provided with this report applet to use the
CONFIG.TPM file in its current location. You can find instructions for doing
this below.
If you choose methods 1 or 2 above, you can load the PivotTables in Microsoft
Excel and begin using them with your data by using the Refresh Data command in
Excel.
If you choose option 3, follow the instructions below to point the PivotTable to the
correct CONFIG.TPM file.
Using a Different CONFIG.TPM
If you store your CONFIG.TPM file in a location other than the C:\WINDOWS
directory, you will see this message when you attempt to refresh the data in any
PivotTable included with this report applet:
